Pretend for a moment that everything else about the cars was equivalent, body condition under the paint etc. etc.
1.7 L single carb on the '71 versus 1.8 L single carb on the '75 (yes the single car thing would have to be addressed on both) Are the earlier cars considered, broadly, more desirable than a later one? Obviously the bumpers or the big difference but are there other considerations that drive desirability between those model years? Thanks again for all of the help and education that you've provided, very much appreciate it. |

Living in so cal, it’s easy and cheap to find early chrome bumpers to swap out,
Updating windows, side shift trans, vents, etc. are way more expensive and a major hastle. However body work is always the biggest expense. I will always side with the nicest body, with the least amount of rust. |

I also forgot with a 71 the passenger seat is not adjustable. The windshield wiper switch is on the dash versus the steering column. Another pain to update or change. A plus for the 71 is it’s easier to install the left 914-6 ignition key, since the 914-6’s were based off of the 70 and 71 year Cars. |
